Pilot In Fatal Life Star Crash Questioned

Federal investigators have interviewed the pilot of an emergency helicopter that crashed in June, killing a flight nurse, and they say they expect their report to be finished within two months.

Robert Hancock, who is conducting the investigation for the National Transportation Safety Board, said Tuesday that he recently interviewed pilot Joseph Bremseth. Hancock would not say what Bremseth told him about the crash.

The Life Star helicopter, flying from Hartford Hospital, hit a power line and crashed off I-91 in Middletown near a rest area, killing nurse Jennifer B. Hodges. Bremseth and respiratory therapist Joy Minichello were severely injured and underwent months of rehabilitation.
